No Smoke, No Ileef.
From the Regiment.
A colonial volunteer officer, Capt.
Brown—in times of peace Butcher Brown
—ordered a sentry found smoking to con
sider himself a prisoner.
"What!” exclaimed the volunteer sol
dier, "not smoke on sentry? Then where
the am 1 lo smoke?” The dignified
captain reiterated his first remark.
Then did the sentry lake his pipe from
his mouth, and Confidentially tap his of
ficer on the shoulder. "Now look here.
Brown,” said he, "don't go and make a
fool of yourself. If you do, I'll go else
where for my meat.”
—"The game of golf has fallen from its
high estate." says the Philadelphia
Record. "In the window of an establish

to which hong three glided spheres, there
reposes a leather bag containing a dozen
or more golf clubs. There are drivers and
decks, brassies, niblicks and pullers. This
spectacle has drawn tears from the eyes
of many enthusiasts as they have passed
the window on their way to the Broad
Street station. Two men paused yesterday
nfternoon and held a consultation. 'For
the honor of the game we slkhil-I get
them out of pawn,' said one. Most as
suredly,' said the other. They went in,
but came out empty handed. The price
was too much, even for the honor of the
game. The golf clubs are still there."

BTOHV OF A 11001)00 SHIP,
Row the Hlengrell of Liverpool
Wen t finn a.
From the New York Times.
As the British ship Elllsland was being
made fast to one of the piers In the Erie
Basin a few days ago, four sailors who
stood leaning over the forward deck rail
saw something that made them start sud
denly and cross themselves supcrstltiously.
What caused their uneasiness was a
blurred Inscription on the pier's string
piece. It was printed and read like ihi“

'J he names of the four sailors were R.
Cochrane, John Johnson, Charles Wal
back. and H. Kimber. More than two
years ago, in the early pari Q f they
came to this port In an English bark call
ed the Blengfell, from Liverpool, and she
had only been here two days when these
four members of her crew left her on Jhe
ground that she was a "hoodoo ship." A
month afterward she sailed homeward
again, hut she never reached port, for the
evil falc that hung over her fulfilled Its
mission, and the battered remains of her
big hulk have long lain many fathoms
under the sea.
When Cochrane and hi* companions saw
the name of their former ship written on
•he Erie Basin pier, thedr memories took
a turn by no means pleasant. It seems
that the ill-omened Blengfell s disastrous
experiences began three- voyages before
the one that brought her to America,
though It was on that trip that all hands
abroad became convinced of a hoodoo's
presence among them.
During a trip uhe took about three years
before that time, a seaman went mad be
cause of "visions’ 'ln hi* cabin at night.
He drowned himself at lad In despair.
On the next voyage a negro sailor, who

arose from his bed, grasped a brace of
pistols, and ran all the rest of crew

him to madness. For weeks he muttered
and groaned and shrieked, frightening all
his companions half to death,and then tie

his cabin he said that the hoodoo had
commanded him to depart from life and
that ft had prophesied a horrible doom for
the bark Hlengfell.
Tt was after this that Cochrane, John
son, Walback. and Kimber shipped with
the bark. They got aboard of her at Liv
erpool. Hr commander was Capt. John
ston of Whitehaven, and with him saUed
his wife and little g rl. The bark sailed
from Liverpool to Brisbane, Australia,
and thence to New York, touching at
Newcastle, Valparaiso, and Junln on the
voyage. When she reached here, the cap
tain ordered some of his men to pot a
new coat of paint on fhe bark, and while
they were doing the job, some of them
st raw led the ragged Inscription on the
Krie Basin pier.
"if aw-s while that painting was being
done that we skipped.” said Seaman Coch
rane. in telling the story of the hoodoo.
"And It's a good thing we did, for If ive'd
sailed away with the blasted hark, the
fishes would have had us long before ibis.
Do you know what happened to the Hlcng
fell and how the' hoodoo at last got In his
work? No? Well, 111 toll you.
"A month after we four got off. she
went nway. bound for England. Mean
while we shipped on the Ellisland and
went the same why. When we got to the
other side they lold us about I lie itleng

which had been taken aboard here in Now
York, was naphtha in barrels, and sud

o'clock one morning.
•'Capt. Johnston, his wife and child; the
two mates, and two apprentices were
blown Into so many little pieces that not
a I race of them was ever found. And us
for the bark, there wasn't anything Ifet
of her but drift wool. The Dover pilot
was killed, 100, but they found his body
laier on.
"It wns all the work of the hoodoo,
wasn't It. boys'.”’ added the seaman,
turning to hie companions. "But we Were
•old in the business, so we knew whit *as
coming and Jumped the game. it's a
good thing to know a little about hoodoo*
once in a while. You may live a bit long
er for It. you know, anti, besides, when
you die you don’t want to get a sure pass
to bell. And that's what you get If a
hoodoo sees youp tlnish.”
